Slayer is the best band in the world in my eyes. They kick so much ass! I'd say they were legends, but in the words of Tom Araya "People call us legends, but we're not. Legends are dead, and we're going strong". Slayer has been around since '83 and is still kicking ass everyday. They have 11 albums out, all great. They're music is just awesome. I love them.

Through me you pass into the city of woe
Through me you pass into eternal pain
Through me among the people lost for ay
Justice the founder of my fabric moved
To rear me was the task of power divine
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love
Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I endure
All hope abandon, ye who enter here

I'm too amused to close this thread. Wait, no I'm not. We have plenty of Slayer threads. We all know Slayer. They are the thrash gods. Go dig up an old thread and hail them there, as have we all in the past.
